Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3?

[Muse]

Got an MS Technet email today saying this is available. I'm using IE6. Is this worth trying (it's not like I need another project).

Wow, sweet. And I haven't even been having any problems with Beta 2.

A few of the buttons are different.

I love the new Betas. I've used beta 2 since the release. So much easier to surf with IMO. Lot like Firefox but easier.

Some sites that support IE will not work with IE7B2 - maybe B3 will work

It does.

Hmmm, don't mind if I do. Downloaded, and installing shortly........

EDIT: Ok, install went fine, IE7B3 is running fast. A couple of minor aethestic changes for the better. The first things I noticed were thin horizontal lines in the menu bars at top to seperate better, and the go/refresh and stop button were tamed down to be more pleasing to the eye.

It's seems to run a little faster to me the first few minutes here, but who knows. :thumbsup: to Microsoft.

I thought Firefox was easier to surf with 😕

How can a browser be "easier" to surf with? You type in the name of the site, hit enter, and away you go.

Supposedly MS fixed over 1000 bugs in IE7 too.

Basically the browser owns and I don't see what you couldn't like about it. If you don't have this get it now.

any chance to install this without sp2?

 

[archcommus]

No.

At this point it is foolish to not run with SP2.

Interesting. I'm going to try it in my Vista partition. Anyone installed it in Vista x86 yet?

Just found another thing that I like. IE will resize a jpg if shown in the browser to fit the window. To view the fullsize, you usually had to hover your mouse over for a couple of seconds, and click the icon in the lower right. Now, the cursor just turns into a magnifying glass immediately, and you click. Do the same if you want to zoom back out and fit the window. They've done away with the options box that pops up in the upper left, though, which I never used anyway.

IEB2 was a little buggy, but so far this is a lot better.

Sorry to bring the dead thread back to life!

Well, that annihalated my IE. Now when I open IE, it closes itself instantly. Charming.
